a it expresses pride and longing for his country.

c the laughter functions as a metaphor for patriotism.
d it suggests that his country is a necessary part of his life.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.

answer: sure

explanation: i'd love to know everything but that burden is too much to bare.
